Mr. Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of City of Atlanta
Office of the Mayor
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

As a Negro Citizen and a national officer of the NAACP Iam writing to
thank you for the way you have carried yourself and the expressions to
the general public that you have made during the Atlanta riots.

Iam a friend of Dr. Rufus Clemments of Atlanta University. We have
often discussed you and your progressive policies and I wanted you to
know that I appreciate your efforts in behalf of Civil Rights and a peace-
ful community.

Enclosed is a copy of the New York Times editorial that I thought would
re-enforce your determination to continue along the lines you are follow-
ing.

Sincerely yours,

eo H,
President
